Roswell, GA (PRWEB) March 13, 2006
Tally's Treasures Global Imports (www. tallys-treasures. com)has announced that they are aggressively moving to make jewelry, home decor and now their own branded items available to show awareness of the diabetes epidemic in children in the United States! Tally's Treasures has been a privately held online ecommerce company importing beautiful silver, gold and designer inspired jewelry on major auction and online shops for the past three years. They have recently opened a Cafepress shop, www. cafepress. com/tallystreasures (http://www. cafepress. com/tallystreasures) that houses a t-shirts, mugs and other items with their branding, mainly for their loyal clients to purchase. What is being publicized now is that proceeds from the sales of these types of branded merchandise will help support the Juvenile Diabetes research.
"Diabetes has become an epidemic among our children here in the United States. Whether they are type 1 (Juvenile Diabetes) or Type 2 (Adult Onset Diabetes), our children are suffering and we must become aggressive in our fight against this condition," said founder of Tally's Treasures, Maria Schlossberg, whose son has been recently diagnosed as a juvenile diabetic, needing daily insulin shots.
"Through our main offerings of jewelry and also now our two new CafePress shops, one for Tally's Treasures branding and the other specific to medical alert ID merchandise, www. phatdiabetics. com, we are hoping to generate sales that will boost charity contributions for diabetes. Our first charity has become JDRF. org, but we will also be looking into other diabetes charities in the near future. The most important thing is that we start now, today...and waste no time in generating sales to combat this health crisis," further explained Schlossberg.
Awareness has become a major passion for this company. Everywhere that the owner and her son go, they try to wear a diabetes alert shirt, to proudly show that they are not embarrassed by this condition and also to promote acceptance and awareness. It has generated a buzz around the community. "People come up to us and ask about the shirts and of course everyone has a story to relate about a friend or relative that has diabetes. It is really an ice breaker," said Schlossberg.
The shirts are all designed with great input from other diabetics and of course children. There are shirts based on sports themes, and professions. Just something for everyone. There are even shirts based on favorite foods, such as pizza, pasta, etc.
Will there be other CafePress shops opened by Tally's Treasures based on other health conditions?
"That is way too soon to talk about. Right now we are focusing on this condition, because it is the one that we are intimately familiar with. Our t-shirt and other items' slogan and sayings reflect the deep knowledge about diabetes. The humorous sayings are exactly what people with this condition would be thinking and wanting to say to others about this disease. We don't think that we can bring the same understanding to other health issues that we have not experienced ourselves," explained Schlossberg.
